So, I've got my firesuit on and I'm ready for the flames.

This thing was cheap, and I did everything I could to fit it.

Total cost = $90

 

Acknowledge it as a loss, ditch it, and go back to the stock grille or pick up Ionic's replica.

Total cost including paint for a new after market grille should never be as cheap as $90.

 

i dont know why some people dont get why you buy whatev stuff for over a 30k car..

 

perfect example of "you get what you pay for"

 

I disagree, why should it cost $400 for a piece of plastic (or fiberglass) that does absolutely nothing.

I painted it myself, and now I have enough paint to do some touch ups and most of a body kit when I get one. So, to be honest, all I'm really out here is about 20 bucks for the ebay grill, and maybe 20 bucks worth of paint.

 

where did the other $50 go?

 

well some people will never understand

 

Who said anything about $400 for a piece of plastic? You can get an Ionic replica for $170 shipped. I'd gladly pay another $80 for the Ionic grille that fits much better than that one.

But fine. Don't spend any money on another after market grille. Spend $0 and have a perfectly fitting stock grille.

You're out more than just a few bucks, IMO. That gap is among the worst that I've seen on this forum...ever.

We all make mistakes. I made mine twice, LOL.

 

+1 You could sail a ship between that grille and your hood =(

 

You should have painted your stock grill black or tried the "emblem delete" mod if you wanted to skimp a few bucks for a different look

 

yikes

 

Sigh

 

 

 

fail.
